QuoteThe Endless River is the upcoming fifteenth studio album by British rock band Pink Floyd, set to be released on 10 November 2014. Produced by David Gilmour, Martin Glover, Andy Jackson and Phil Manzanera, this is the band's first studio album in twenty years, the last being 1994's The Division Bell. It is also the band's first album after the death of the band's keyboardist and founding member Richard Wright, who makes a posthumous appearance on it, and the third by the Gilmour-helmed Pink Floyd after Roger Waters' departure from the band in 1985, following the release of The Final Cut.

Described as a "swan song" for Wright, The Endless River is mostly an instrumental album consisting primarily of ambient music. The album is based on unreleased material the band produced with Wright during sessions for The Division Bell in 1994, and was originally recorded under the tentative title The Big Spliff. Information about the renewed undertaking initially leaked from personnel via social media, after which Pink Floyd made a formal announcement. The news was met with anticipation from fans as well as criticism regarding the absence of Waters on the project.

Ya I picked up on this a few weeks ago. It's on my must-buy list. I have most of their collection already including some re-releases.

A new Pink Floyd album usually means it's time to invest in some new audio gear as well...

... but it's absolutely worth it :D

Must check on the battery in my "Pulse" CD case, been a while since I replaced it.
